TransitTracker by Text Message

Now you can get TransitTracker arrival times on your mobile phone in a text message. Just text your Stop ID Number to 27299 to get arrivals for the buses and trains serving that stop.

Here are some examples:

Text 3633 for the next arrivals at Madison & Grand

Text 3633 14 for only the next 14-Hawthorne arrivals at Madison & Grand

Text 8377 red for only the next MAX Red Line arrivals at Rose Quarter MAX Station

You'll notice a short ad at the end of each message, which helps us keep this service free. You pay only the standard text messaging/data rates, if applicable.

Stop ID Numbers are posted at many bus stops and rail stations, and we're posting more every month. You can look up a Stop ID Number here at trimet.org using the Stops & Stations tool or at our mobile site, m.trimet.org.

Note: TransitTracker by Text Message does not include Service Alerts at this time, but we're working on it.
